[slinkelist] New DVD 300 disc players...

[George Tang]

Unfortunately, Control-S is not Control AI/II.  Control-S is only for
receiving commands and not bi-directional.  8-(

Hi...  Ohhh, I do hope these will work with the slink-e.

I did find this press release:

  http://ca.biz.yahoo.com/bw/000907/in_sony_2.html

which says a fair bit more than the Sony web page.  Most interesting - they
moved the playhead to the center of the unit, which lets the player play the
second side of a DVD by spinning the carousel around and loading the disc in
backwards.  Clever.

Ahha:  According to Crutchfield, they do have a Control-S port.  They even
have a photo of the back of the 870D:

This is good, I do believe...
